Investigating Cortisol in a STEM Classroom: The Association Between Cortisol and Academic Performance
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education can be stressful, but uncertainty exists about (a) whether stressful academic settings elevate cortisol, particularly among students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups, and (b) whether cortisol responses are associated with academic performance. In four classes around the first exam in a gateway college STEM course, we investigated participants’ ( N = 271) cortisol levels …
U.S. public perceptions on whether risk of dementia and stroke can be modified through maintaining or changing lifestyle
This cross-sectional cohort, mimicking the general U.S. population, demonstrated that over 80% of individuals ever knew someone with dementia or stroke and that this was positively associated with the perceptions that dementia and stroke risk could be modified through lifestyle changes. The widespread exposure of the U.S. public to dementia and stroke first-hand can be leveraged into more effective preventive strategies
Explaining the gender gap in negotiation performance: Social network ties outweigh internal barriers
Gender disparities in negotiation outcomes contribute to inequality in the workplace and beyond. Explanations of gender gaps in negotiation often focus on internal barriers women face as a consequence of contending with stigma in the workplace and other historically male‐dominated environments, such as stereotype threat and apprehension about negotiating. However, stigma is also associated with relational consequences that may influence success i…
Lower SES PhD students experience interpersonal disconnection from others both inside and outside of academia
Students from lower socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds can experience stigma in undergraduate educational settings but little research on this topic has been conducted at the PhD level. Lower‐SES PhD students may feel lower levels of social integration as they experience incidents of interpersonal disconnection from others inside and outside of academia. Interpersonal disconnection may be a mechanism by which lower‐SES leads to a lower sense …
The Future of Women in Psychological Science
There has been extensive discussion about gender gaps in representation and career advancement in the sciences. However, psychological science itself has yet to be the focus of discussion or systematic review, despite our field’s investment in questions of equity, status, well-being, gender bias, and gender disparities. In the present article, we consider 10 topics relevant for women’s career advancement in psychological science. We focus on issu…
Securing self‐integrity over time: Self‐affirmation disrupts a negative cycle between psychological threat and academic performance
Adolescence can be a tumultuous period with numerous threats to self‐integrity. A 3‐year field experiment tested whether repeated affirmations of self‐integrity can help lessen the impact of psychological threat on adolescent (11–14 years old) students’ core course GPA over time. A diverse cohort of students ( N = 163) was randomly assigned to a control condition or to an affirmation condition, in which teachers repeatedly administered classroom …
